Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients who have acute myeloid leukemia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the rate of response complete or partial remission duration of response relapse free survival and overall survival of patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia AML or untreated older patients or those with secondary AML when treated with arsenic trioxide II Evaluate the toxicities of this agent in this patient population III Measure degree of apoptosis induced andor differentiation in pretreatment and posttreatment AML cells

OUTLINE Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours daily for up to 60 days or until bone marrow blasts are less than 5 followed by 4-6 weeks of rest After the first course additional courses of arsenic trioxide last 25 days Treatment continues for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression Patients with a complete response CR receive 1 additional 25 day course after achieving CR Patients are followed monthly for 6 months every 2 months for 6 months every 3 months for 12 months and then every 6 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 12-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years
